“Xing Ke, do you know how stupid what you said earlier?” A middle-aged man with an older age than the other ministers started walking over with his cold gaze.
By the time the middle-aged man finished saying so, they saw that Xing Ke's face had turned gloomy with some sweat beads on his face starting to fall down.
All of this was not because Xing Ke was afraid of him, but rather an invisible, powerful pressure had fallen directly all over his body. This was the power of the first and strongest minister of the Metal Country, it was the gold minister Jin Shu.
Gold minister Jin Shu had actually restricted his aura just to make Xing Ke alone kneel alone. But what he did not expect was that Xing Ke did not kneel at all, and simply gritted his teeth to withstand the heavy pressure emanating from his Cracking Void cultivation.
“Oh? What a talented young man! You really have a stronger determination than I thought!” Jin Shu raised his eyebrows slightly and spoke in an interested tone.
In the next moment, the aura pressure from the Cracking Void instantly strengthened more than before to make the black-haired female who was beside Xing Ke fall to her knees to the ground. Even Xing Ke's two legs had trembled until the bones in his body rang out loud inside the palace, it showed just how strong the pressure he was enduring was.
Cracks!
The surface of the jade floor on which Xing Ke stood had made even small cracks.
But before the small crack spread widely, suddenly a soft voice came from Empress Tian Shi, “You two stop!”
In the blink of an eye, the invisible pressure that was oppressing Xing Ke's body had disappeared from his body. With great difficulty, Xing Ke's body full of sweat beads continuously took a breath until his body slowly stabilized.
Bam!
Then Xing Ke saw a scene he often saw, it was that the ministers of the Metal Country as well as their subordinates had kneeled on one leg after hearing a voice coming out from Empress Tian Shi's mouth.
“It is enough with the unworthy behavior of all of you! Do you not all see that others have looked on with scorn and ridicule?” A voice filled with coldness instantly shot out from Empress Tian Shi's mouth.
In contrast to her nervous demeanor like before, this time Empress Tian Shi had the prestige of a genuine ruler.
“Oh? Is this the reason why the ministers aim to sell their empress?” Third prince Niu Bo said full of interest upon seeing that everyone who possessed the Jin clan had kneeled on one leg and looked at Tian Shi respectfully.
But all of that only lasted a few seconds before everything returned to normal. The dignified expression that Empress Tian Shi had released slowly turned full of fear and nervousness while looking around her.
“I ... I don't know anything about this!” Empress Tian Shi hugged her head down in a tone filled with fear towards what she had just done. It was true that she wanted everyone to stop hurting Xing Ke, but she again felt the strange feeling.
Seeing that Empress Tian Shi was filled with fear, Xing Ke and the long black-haired woman beside him started rushing towards Empress Tian Shi to calm him down.
“Nona, no need to fear. We are here with you!” The long black-haired female did not hesitate to hug Tian Shi's petite body.
“Nona Tian Shi!” Xing Ke approached to see Empress Tian Shi's condition. But after seeing that he had not fainted like he usually did, he slightly heaved a sigh of relief while clenching his palm until it bled.
Although Xing Ke knew that he was talented in cultivating, he knew that his current strength was simply not enough to change anything.
“Xing To, step aside from your place!” The fifth minister of the Metal Country said in an annoyed tone as he looked towards the frightened Empress Tian Shi in the arms of the long black haired lady.
Swish!
An extremely strong gust of wind instantly appeared around Xing Ke's body, some metal objects that were inside the palace slowly shook by themselves and moved. The metallic thing moved as if something invisible had attracted them.
Whether it was a hidden weapon artifact or a storage ring worn by everyone, it slowly began to tremble like it was attracted by the aura released from Xing Ke's body.
“Oh? Do you really want to rebel against us? Basic slave don't know himself!” When the fifth minister saw that Xing Ke was ignoring his remark, he said in an annoyed tone and began to raise his hand to slap Xing Ke.
But before the tension began, a voice with a very panicked tone instantly emerged from outside the palace door.
“Bad news! Sir, there's bad news! One of the main members of the organization of the ten commandments of god had killed the envoy of the Second Prince Niu Hen!” One of the people wearing a black armor directly entered the palace door with a panicked expression on his face.
When the people inside the palace heard the news, there was a change in expression on their faces.
“One of the subordinates of Prince Niu Hen has been killed by the organization of the ten commandments of god?! Do they want to make war between the Land Country with our Metal Country?!” Jin Shu's expression turned ugly while glancing towards Second Prince Niu Bo.
But after seeing that Second Prince Niu Bo only frowned and did not look too angry, Jin Shu slightly sighed in relief and approached the man wearing black armor.
“How many people came here?” Jin Shu asked in her firm tone as she glanced at Xing Ke whose anger had been extinguished and began to gently touch Tian Shi's head.
“Some of my subordinates have followed The Piety's movements and they only saw him being alone in a wild beast forest area that we should have closed. But just after the man killed the security guards who were under master Xing Ke, he left a sentence of his with a threatening tone.” The black-armored guard said respectfully as he took off his helmet.
“Tone full of threats? It was arrogant that he really did not consider our strength in his eyes!” The fifth minister who still had anger left on his face started to approach towards the black-armored guard.
“Can you shut up for a minute?!” Jin Shu looked coldly at the fifth minister beside him with a cold look. If not for his status and strength, perhaps Jin Shu would have told Jin Ke to kill him first.
Seeing that he had been looked at coldly by Jin Shu, the fifth minister could only grit his teeth and begin to direct his hatred towards Xing Ke who was behind him. If not for Xing Ke's attitude, perhaps he wouldn't have been this angry.
“So, what did the man say before he left his place?” Jin Ke who was silent at the side also started to ask the black armored guard man.
Among other ministers, only he and his own brother knew the horrors of the organization of the ten commandments of God. At the time of his assault to help the Song Family, it was all the plans of his brother Jin Shu.
Despite having different ages, Jin Shu and Jin Ke have long been brothers. If not for Jin Shu's help, there was no way he would have been the youngest and most powerful minister of anyone else.
“The man said that their organization is looking forward to a proper retaliation from the actions we have taken. If there is no proper retaliation, they say they will ruin Empress Tianshi's wedding!” The black-armored guard said it with a slightly hesitant tone as if he was thinking whether to reveal any other information or not.
“What are you doubting? Just say it clearly to all of us!” Jin Shu slightly frowned after seeing the doubt.
“Master, it seems like the organizational background of the ten commandments of god is not simple. One of its main members, The Piety has killed our people with the light element. With the previous information I have obtained from the Sonata Building, it shows that that person has a very frightening talent!” The black-armored guard said so after being allowed by Jin Shu.
At the time of hearing that sentence, not only were the people from the Metal Country alone having a change in his expression. Even Third Prince Niu Bo who looked at all of this filled with ridicule had dropped his glass after hearing the sentence.
